  17. Hello everyone after 8 months im finally going to be getting my date on the 22nd of this month. This is my first ever surgery ever, do you have any advice for me?? Pleease anything. Thank you!
  18. Nice! Do you remember how long after you were scheduled for surgery?
  19. I finally have lost the weight the dietitian has ordered for me to do and now my papers are submitted to my insurance! ? How long did it take for your insurance to approve you?? What if they don't approve you, what did you do?? ?
  20. I think the dietician just wanted me to be committed to lose a few pounds. But i just got weighed in yesterday at my doctors and i made the weight! So im super happy right now?
  21. Gee must be nice lol when i met with the dietician all she wanted me to do was to lose 10 lbs. Which i felt was easy but that was like 3 months ago lol so this month i got very serious about eating healthy and working out and i go in tomorrow to my PCP to get weighed in. I hope im down but i wont give up!
  22. Has anyone needed to lose weight in order to get VSG? This is the most frustrating thing in the world. ?
  23. Hey everyone! ? Quick question i hope some of you can answer. After your insurance approves you for bariatric surgery, what are the next steps?? And do they let you do payments on the surgery or does that just depend on your surgeons office?? I feel like this process is taking forever and im trying to be positive. Thank you! ?
  24. Right lol Hopefully they approve me fast
